Unchanging note filename when different from headline about scripts HOT 9 CLOSED

At the time handleNewNoteHeadlineHook is called the note doesn't exist yet.
Just return the filename you want every time in handleNoteTextFileNameHook or is something preventing you from doing that?

from scripts.

You could for example check the created date: https://www.qownnotes.org/scripting/classes.html#note

from scripts.

So my handleNoteTextFileNameHook function would have two code paths? In the first instance, I assume there is not yet a file creation date, and so I calculate my string as before using the current time. Subsequently, my handleNoteTextFileNameHookwould find that there is a file, and file creation date, and would use that. Does that sound right? (By the way, when I tried a script.log containing note.fileCreated.toISOString() I get "RangeError: Invalid Date out of range" in both scenarios.)

My hope had been that the NoteApi parameter of handleNewNoteHeadlineHook would allow access to a boolean indicating that there is already a file name associated with this note. Alternatively, another hook such as handleNewNoteHeadlineHook, say handleNewNoteHeadlineFilenameHook, could return both a headline and a filename as a simple pair object.

Funny, it seems like fileCreated will only be set if the note tree is reloaded. But you can also check the fileLastModified. But use handleNoteTextFileNameHook.

I edited my last comment: my function names were mixed up. I'll try fileLastModified.

I added the following at the start of my handleNoteTextFileNameHook function, and it seems to be working now. Thanks for the advice.

if (!isNaN(note.fileLastModified)) {
  return "";
}

Great, and I will fix the fileCreated.

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
